Introduction of “MAPS” wound healing index and its correlation with guided bone regeneration outcome
The MAPS score improves consistently over the 5-month healing period. However, no statistically significant difference is observed between the scores at 21 days and 5 months, reflecting the clinical healing pattern for GBR. The overall MAPS score correlated with bone changes after GBR procedures, indicating its potential for estimating hard tissue regenerative outcomes.
